Dinner at Otter Bar Lodge. ©scotthardingphoto.comOur Food is Phenomenal!

As the only kayak school ever featured in Bon Appetit magazine, you can expect to enjoy fine dining with us.

We employ two full-time chefs and a lodge staff that put together and serve fresh, hand-made meals each day. 

Creative, Inspired Cuisine

Our chefs create wonderful, fresh food that flows from their culinary inspirations each day.  There is no set menu and no repetition.

We emphasize fresh produce and purchase from local organic farms as much as possible.  Our own organic garden provides herbs, tomatoes, and flowers for table decor.  We serve a variety of styles of food so it's hard to generalize but you could say we offer California Cuisine.

For Vegetarians, Vegans, and Those With Food Allergies

We happily accommodate vegetarians, vegans, and if you have any food allergies or dietary needs, just let us know and we'll make sure you are well take care of.  Is there some dish you're craving?  Tell our chefs!

Meal Time!

Breakfast is served buffet style in the lodge.  Fresh organic coffee and hot water for tea are out by 7am, breakfast at 8am.

Each day you will have lunch along the river with your kayak instructor and fellow paddlers (usually custom-made sandwiches from our daily lunch bar), with the exception of two days when we will have lunch at the lodge, freshly prepared by our chefs.

The ringing of the gong signals the start of dinner around 7:30pm.  Dinner is served in a beautiful buffet in the lodge.  During summer, we will dine together outside beneath the color of the sunset.  When cool or wet, we'll dine in the cozy comfort of our wood-heated lodge.
